"What I've heard that NUS FASS is even harder to get in than Faculty of Science. And to get into FASS, you must demonstrate high competency in the English language. The archaic views of FASS as a 'dumping ground' is not true anymore..."
My hopes of a successful appeal to FASS become lesser again. Well not as if I've made any appeals yet. Can't seem to summurise why I should be the one they take in. Did some searching and learnt that most pple feel that Project and Facilities Management is the dumping ground. Read about the course. Quite interesting to me... Well at least much better than the other dumping ground - Real Estate. Why I didn't apply for PFM then arh. Well coz FASS is like the only thing I look forward to. Should I continue trying to pursue my dreams of getting to FASS or should I try my luck to get to a dumping ground to get my place in a uni.
Receive something that increase my options and made me slightly less worried. But no less troubled. NIE DipEd 1.5 yrs contract. Ya its a Dip. coz I realise that's the option i choose when i applied then lor -_- I went to see the registration for again but still only see 2 options leh. 1 for DipEd and then the other one for Post Grad NIE training. Don't have Degree one leh. Think I go into the wrong form or wad. But if I take up this, I'll only be able to teach in primary sch. Actually I think I prefer sec/JC bah.. not sure also. And the pay is not that great with a Dip. But one cannot be chooser when he's in my state right. Actually I'm thinking I take the contract 2 yrs later if I manage to excel I'll go to uni with teaching awards. Perhaps I can even take up Psychology. I'll won't be that far behind coz the guys will only be just entering the uni then... But not sure can or not coz there 3 yrs bond with DipEd. Lots of uncertainty. Wad's more is that I've to reply by 8/6/2007...
What if I appealed and Heavenly Beings up there heard my prayers and decided to give me a chance in uni? If I've accepted NIE and I want to go uni, is it counted that I've breach the contract? But if I reject NIE and all my appeal failed...? Haiz. NIE is the closest thing to uni that I've received... being next to NTU given the accessiblity to all facilites including hostels, clubs (air pistol... though... nvm).
Of coz I still got the options of local overseas uni in SIM. Oversea studies is closed to me. The cost is high... don't wanna to add any burden to the family financial status. Well that's part of the reason why I'm quite ok with NIE coz its fully paid for... and I get paid... but well all the above problems/ uncertainties. And I don't really think I'm able to leave S'pore for oversea alone just like that. Not prepared. SIM got a course that intrest me - Double Degree Psychology and Buisness Adminstration. Its like what I dreamt of Majoring and Minoring in NUS if I'm pro enough. Only thing is that the uni that provide it is not that up there. The state university of New York at Buffalo. And no direct honours. Fees are quite steep as well... CPF can't be used. Well there's some more established uni in SIM though, University of London (though application closed), RMIT and some others. However their courses don't really appeal to me.
Haiz think right now I'll just appeal first. And that brings back the problem of... How to write my appeal. Well if any kind souls will like to give me some ideas and vet through my appeal feel free to msn me. =) Hong will be indebt to you... especially if its successful... =D
Can't believe that I've actually typed the whole lot of my current situation here. Facing the music and coming clean that all failed... A bit too personal to me but think I'll really need any advices and help others can give me... Think I'll turn crazy before I do anything if my thoughts continue going round and round in circles. =S
Well that's all folks provide me some comments if possible bah. Thanks!
